Good to see you back posting, 1-0 down at half time your Saturday must be going well so far it's been a tough few weeks for you.

I’m going to have to block you now, your constant negative pish is getting really annoying

Just waiting on steelboy........Halliday starts?????. Just kidding pal

It depends what you mean by due diligence. I presume you mean his acknowledgement that Aussie teams have much longer pre seasons because they play a lot less games and have more time off? Obviously, Im no Sports Scientist, but it would never have occurred to me that our pre season training would increase the risk of injury to someone from a different league. I presume it would have been put to our sports scientists / fitness coaches and they havent flagged it up, so Im not sure its something that can be pegged on Kettlewell by himself. As for comparisons with Danzaki, didnt he turn out to be just not very good at football?

Moses is a penalty box striker no more no less. If he starts, it needs to be part of a front 2. Yes, the balance in midfield is all wrong. We need a solid out and out defensive midfielder.

Moses has already scored more goals than Robinson is likely to should he play every minute for the rest of the season. None of strikers suit 1 up front - we need to change our approach our starting formation. We need to build upon our existing tactics of work hard/sling in set pieces. Dare say 4-3-3 may suit this current crop of players.

Looking at what we have signed this has to be the worst window we've ever had. 17 players and only Liam Gordon looks decent.

Time to get Moses in from the start.

If we had to recoup the same level of investment we get from the sponsors, a sponsor-free shirt would probably cost about 300 quid.

I switched off after Aberdeen scored I couldn't stomach watching that utter dross any longer. Dont care what team we are playing no player should be able to run 75 yards and score. Robinson is an utter lightweight.

I said above that the club didn’t do its due diligence, so I wasn’t solely pinning it on Kettlewell.

Why are your opinions always so negative?

I presume only outside the UK.

We will get to see the new third kit and see Motherwell win in Aberdeen and the new kit sold out on Monday COYW

Yeah I agree I would buy a top without the sponsor logo

If we play brilliant and WIN 5-4 Steelboy would probably still call for the managers head 🤪

How exactly is that done? If you say something, and I present an opposing view, is that me "shutting down" any criticism? Or merely offering a different perspective? This thread is full of people expressing negative opinions about the Block E lads. It also includes others putting forward counterpoints that support them. I don’t see either side being "shut down." It’s simply a discussion. But why? Just as people are permitted to express their observations from games and local pubs afterwards, others are allowed to counter those observations. Both viewpoints are permissible, and have been in this thread. Unless you prefer a forum where someone can state what they claim to have seen, felt, heard, or otherwise, and no one is allowed to challenge that? Having your view challenged does not diminish it. It simply means someone else disagrees with you. Once again, posters are free to dismiss anything they wish out of hand. That’s part of being in a community like this. The important thing is that while some may vocally dismiss your views or those of others, it doesn’t mean that everyone who reads the thread agrees with them or sees it as a slight on you. I really don’t think we should be considering stopping people from challenging what others say simply because it upsets the person who made the statement. If individuals are distressed by others disagreeing with them, this forum, or indeed the internet in general, might not be the right place for them. And this isn’t me telling you to leave the boards. You’re more than welcome to post here just like everyone else, but you need to understand that your views are neither more nor less valued than anyone else’s. And similarly, I’m not addressing this specifically to you, but the situation you’ve described, where you say people should be able to express their views without being criticised or told they’re talking nonsense, rather exemplifies someone who doesn’t like being challenged. And, if someone accuses a poster of being an idiot, they can surely ignore them as well? Does that mean others should also be able to post about and defend the Block E group without being shot down? We've discussed this in private, and it's rather ironic that you're upset about people posting defamatory material about you, yet you're happy to constantly claim that a certain poster saying "I think u should take a break from the forum as u seem to take everything personal" is them telling you that you should "get off these boards." It isn't. So please stop saying that. Should I lock it? 👀
